WHY?
They're absolutely great right nowm it's working for them and it's a better work style.
Why should they ruin something good?

BBL is so, so, so good.
Well, but they could have chosen WHATEVER way of developing that twist, and instead they chose to
ram in a murder behind the back of a character who was actually being controlled by the player exactly in that period of time AND, even worse, the fact that you control and read the mind of the killer for the entire fucking game, but, what a coincidence, he doesn't think about it, ever.
They could have removed the mind reading feature, which is actually underused and mostly "cosmetic", and basically everything would have had some sense again.
But nope, they chose the wrongest path possible, and - at least back then - everybody was like "uuuh look at this, finally videogames are mature like artsy movies with deep and complicated plots yay".

Plus he shoots like 20 bullets from a six shot revolver but that's just being nit-picky, I suppose.
Yea this looks interesting, hope they deliver
Saitek is teaming up with GIANTS Software to create the first custom hardware for Farming Simulator.
It has a sidepanel with a Front Loader Control Stick and lots of programmable buttons for all your farming needs.

BEST KOREA already beat them to market.
Same here. Looking forward to seeing how this ends up as I drive tractors daily.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Hopefully this means that DLC for the third movie is on the way as well.
I thought they were working on it, not on the Mac version.

They aren't stretching this out to another game?
I don't have the time at the moment to read the whole thread and have been off GAF for over a week (damn master's thesis) so I'm just gonna ask:
I calculated I can get around 5500 gems from my stash of backgrounds and emoticons.
In hindsight, I'm glad I kept that pile instead of selling it each for a few cents.
I don't want to use the gems to win games. The games that have low enough bids so I can actually win something, are games I can probably get in the coming years via a pay-what-you-want bundle or similar. No point in betting on that when you aren't gonna play it right away.
So my question is:
Will the upcoming Winter sale use the gems in another metagame? Has there been any evidence about this?
If yes, I will keep them.
If no, I might as well sell them when the prices are high. That would result in around € 5.
(I did use 1 gem to bet on GTA San Andreas lol. So I could get the badge to level 2.)

We don't know sadly, so all you can do is speculate. Prices have fallen by about 0,10€/sack today already though.
Alright thanks!
Yeah, I noticed the trend on the Steam market. :-/
Hmm hard decision.
In a few hours the gems can be either totally worthless since they aren't used in a metagame, or perhaps go up in price again when there is...
They still have value as a currency between US/EU/AU,etc traders, and also still have their use to open crates. I think prices will bomb on the winter sale but after that I think they will return to their normal price.
So what's the projected trend with holiday card prices? Will they remain stable roughly where they are for the next 24 hours until the sale starts? Once they're available from voting, will they drop then hold there until the end of the sale, then either spike or crash in the last hours of the sale, or what?

Spike for a few hours at the start of the sale, then a decline over a few days until we reach the lowest point. A spike may or may not happen at the end of the sale, but I doubt it.
Valve would be smart to give people more incentives to craft more holiday badges during the sale (gems?) and they seem in an adventurous mood right now, so it might end up being completely different this time..
Ugh. 30% to the last tier of DOA5:LR. Jase, rev up your credit card and buy a ton of copies. ;_;
It should hopefully hit it by February but it's been 30 for the past few days.
I wouldn't worry about it. Every Time there have been preorder tiered incentives never has a title failed to hit all 3 tiers. Even Defiance which was barely at 20% by the last couple of hours before release 'magically' had everything unlocked. I'll be surprised if that doesn't happen again if it doesn't unlock naturally.

Didn't they spike near the end of the winter sale last year when people were trying to max out the unmaxable badge?

I don't remember honestly. I remember a spike at the end of a summer sale, where cards didn't disappear afterwards (those foils were a great investment right?), but since they made cards disappear at the end of a sale the dumping cancels out the crafting at the end I think. Maybe someone has a better memory of it though.

Welp, I won an auction for Pivot! That's good enough for me, time to get the last of my gems and craft a booster.
Let's hope that the gems are not used on the actual sale

I'm using my 19 remaining gems to place a bid on something. No hope of winning, i'm just interested in seeing what happens to gems on bids when all auctions are over.

sort by lowest bid. And it's an auction, so it's kind of hard to tell.

You wasted a click since there's no actual downvoting.

So that it doesn't appears again in your discovery queue or something :\

If you have Enhanced Steam installed and want to see the lowest-bid auction items while also having the ability to hide games you own and have continuous scrolling, you can do so with this link:

Ohhhh, Marvin's Mittens is coming to Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/333260/ Got it for free two or so year ago and 100%ed the game, perfect for the holidays.
So it doesn't appear again in your voting queue. Significantly weakens the 'let consumers decide' argument btw since I can't vote against it.

It removes the game from you queue.
They're only interested in how many people want the game on Steam and would buy it. They don't care about your opinion otherwise, because it wouldn't make a difference.
Well, as already said, downvotes don't really exist. It's just a "i'm not interested on buying this game" vote. It has no actual influence on the rankings.
the game that shall not be named?
you mean Hatred? It's just a fucking videogame. Postal did it first anyways

Mods have decided to ban discussion of the game. I doubt that changes with the reappearence on Greenlight.
